      Defense? Ali did use his overall speed to avoid punches absolutely. However you can see him effortlessly slip blows. The classic exhibition of slipping would be with Terrell. Ali in one sequence slipped two left jabs and a right hand consecutively. Also fighting with lower guard does not mean poorer defense. Some of the greatest defensive fighters ever to live fought with low guard...Tunney, Loughran, Leonard, Johnson.. the list is endless. Truely great defensive fighters would wonder why it would be necessary to constantly cover up with high guard?
      Hahahaha!

      You said "Earnie Terrell".

      Hahahaha!

      That dude wouldn't even make it through the amateurs today.

        Tell everyone how Terrell received a total point score after 15 rounds of only 133 from one judge with no 10-8 rounds scored. If he lost all 15 rounds 10-9 Terrell would still have 135 total points.

        Half the time they butcher 3rd grade level arithmetic that has to be recalculated.

        In boxings richest fight, $3/4 bil Manny vs Floyd, the had Manny in the winning color corner.

        U + They = TOOpid

            Aactually too common; in the first Fury-Wilder bout, they tallied and announced an incorrect score. But it had no effect.

              I seem to remember Ali vs. Terrell as the "what's my name" fight right?

                Ringo was a great drummer. Ask dave grohl who is also a great drummer. In fact ask any great drummer. Ringo was the king of feel.

                  Ali is the greatest heavy ever. That's surely not in doubt? Objectively he just ticks more boxes than anyone else

                    At least Rusty gets banned.

                    Queenie seems to avoid it somehow.

                      If the Queen can’t be understood he can’t get banned. A plan to his madness!
